  1. I LOVE the title.
    The colour flanking the sides, and the block in the middle with its cracked screen effect.
    Are those power skaters in there?
    Nifty stuff!

  2. Heh! I like that. no. what they are, or were, was part of an attempt to animate poser models inside of a bryce animation using a technique i found on the web. I was trying to emulate some of Alan Sondheim's work which used a lot of poser animation cells, but I wanted to cross the gap into Bryce, and supposedly you can do it, but I could never get it to work properly. Alan would do these weird body-torsion things with the models, and I liked that as they immediately become sort of grapheme like an updated pomo-version of the old renaissance human-body as letter idea. or maybe in Alan's case like a nod to torture. at any rate
    i'm glad they read as benign!
    the querly q's are made using

    what's called a 'turtle language'
    in a program called L-System or L-pars which uses mathematics to "draw" 3d models. I can make it do some simple things like curly q's
    and dotted lines etc.

    and i have a degree in electronics
    so i know a little bit about anodes and cathodes, but not too much!

    :)

    just enough to get a lightbulb plugged in correctly!

    thanx Liza!
